Operation Cobra...

More than R250 000 worth of liquor has been confiscated and more than R38 000 in 37 fines dished out in the past six months from 160 raids - successes that Cape Town's special units hope to improve on as they intensify their clampdown on shebeens and drug dealers from Monday. (from IOL)

In the same six months, the city of Cape Town's Drug Busters unit, which falls under the substance abuse task team, confiscated R416 280 in drugs and raided more than 160 suspected drug dens.

37 Fines in 6 months - at just over a R1000 each is not really trying hard enough. The number of raids on shebeens pathetic.. Here's hoping they try a bit harder.
